Knife Wielding Chef Chases Dine & Dasher at Chiba Sushi in Canada

Chiba Sushi, Victoria BC.

A sushi chef from Victoria, Canada's Chiba Sushi was not about to let a dine-and-dasher get away with his crime: according to the Vancouver Sun, Ivan Eng chased a man down the road who skipped out on his $64 check "for several minutes" before the police intervened. Oh, and he was carrying his sushi knife the whole time.

Eng chased the man, who turned out to be a serial offender, for a few blocks, telling passing cars to call 911. Police apparently told Eng that next time he should not bring the knife with him when pursuing a criminal, which is probably a good idea. Eng told the Sun he "trusts [the thief] won't come in for dinner again."

Knife Fight Premiers April 23rd

This isn't a made-for-TV competition. For years, this secret underground happening has taken place after restaurants close their doors to the public. Led by ringleader and celebrated chef Ilan Hall, this is where talented cooks go to prove who's the best. Feel the heat as they're cheered and heckled by a rowdy crowd of celebrities, restaurant critics, and die-hard foodies. This is not a white-napkin dinner. This is war and this is what TV needs to spice things up. For those of you who hve never worked in a kitchen or had a job where talking trash too your co-workers was the high point of the day this is the kind of show you may want too check out.
